Scooby,
Try removing /run/dbus/pid that file should be there only if dbus-daemon is already running,
Did you replace PIDFILE in /etc/init.d/messagebus? After that try /etc/init.d/messagebus start
and /etc/init.d/messagebus stop, for me it's working.

I use this
PIDFILE=/run/dbus/pid

This is a sequential list of commands in terminal after a fresh restart
What lines did you erase in .xinitrc?

org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.freedesktop.DeviceKit.Power was not provided by any .service files

So it's just one more annoying gtk/python/ application.
If you want my suggestion try qbat from AUR (package is only 200 KB). If you don't want to compile let me know, and I will upload package for you later.

puppy default battery monitor appears to work just fine. i pulled it right out of precise's /root/Startup folder. if you want to try it just delete the .gz on the end. you might also have to first run the command:

Looking at Scooby's quest for a battery monitor and realizing that (old and new) laptops are both widespread and usually "single user" machines (ie easier to run single user OSs or as root), I would suggest to include a battery monitor tray app (rather than conky module) in 132.
If not the puppy powerapplet then some other small arch app with minimal dependencies._________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too

My view is that BIG is just foot-shooting. There are already plenty of BIG Puppies. There are lots of faults and shortcomings with ArchPup; its only redeeming feature at present is small and fast. BIG is for folks who are too blinkered at best, idle at worst, to achieve K.I.S.S. Small will always remain beautiful. E = mc^2 , also think Schrodinger, Dirac and Heisenberg (can't seem to transpose their equations into this box, but, as you'll already know, they are small!). Writing in assembler would earn more Brownie points and be a more worthy contribution to humanity.

What will this thing do - Just set hardware clock to user selected "UTC" or "localtime", and sync
system time to hardware clock on system reboot. Also I removed about 20 or more useless
files from /etc, see there https://bitbucket.org/simargl/archpup if you are interested.
What's your opinion. Is this OK?

For powerapplet I would suggest that someone make PKGBUILD and upload it to AUR,
so everyone can use it. Personally I don't need battery monitor as I don't have a laptop,
but for others adding it to AUR seems like good idea.

@Sage: Would you be so kind and explain with some more details what are "lots of faults and
shortcomings with ArchPup". Thanks.

Are you sure that all kind of connections, firewalls and protocols will work without /etc/dhcpcd.conf, protocols and services?

But do you intend to provide a battery monitor with 132, regardless if powerapplet_tray will be in AUR or not?_________________Kids all over the world go around with an XO laptop. They deserve one puppy (or many) too
